So I used the live data on my scanner to see which wheel sensors were not reading. Switched the wheel speed sensors on the vehicle and no change in operation observed thus confirming a fault in the ABS/DSC control unit.
I wouldn't chase the cause with new parts. Keep troubleshooting. It may or may not be the MAF, battery, alternator, wheel sensor etc.
